Chapter Thirty-Eight: Death in a Ghost Town
Chapter 38: Ghost Town in Vain
At some point, the erratic suona sound sounded in my ears again, and at the same time, a huge and hideous snake head suddenly burst out of an inconspicuous hole, heading straight for the door in front of me. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In a gust of fishy wind, I saw a knife-like fangs flashing with a breathtaking cold glow getting closer and closer to me, I was caught off guard and wanted to hide, but it was too late, Lao Liu and they were all like a changed person, looking at me coldly, the corners of the mouth outlined a cold smile, at that moment, an unprecedented sense of loneliness came to my heart, as if I was rejected by the whole world, their laughter seemed to be more sharp than the teeth of a python!
It's too late, it's too soon! At the last moment, a black shadow flashed in front of my eyes, and I only heard a loud bang, and the python flew upside down, slamming on the cave wall, splashing a large piece of blood! At the same time, the shadow of the giant python that forced me back also fell to the ground, and only then did I realize that it was a twisted black coffin!
This strange black coffin has saved me for the second time, what exactly is in the coffin, and where does it come from? And why save me? I didn't understand, so I didn't think about it anymore, the twisted black coffin was pulled into a huge hole by the iron chain, and disappeared, I came back to my senses, turned to look at Lao Liu and them, their faces revealed shock and concern, as if the sneer I just saw was my hallucination, but my heart was a little chilly.
"Xiao Wu, are you okay?"
Lao Liu walked towards me with a concerned face, his expression was full of worry and sincerity, and he couldn't see the slightest falsehood.
"Silly boy! He's going to kill you! Come on! ”
Just when Lao Liu was about to walk up to me, Chen Jinrong seemed to be unable to bear it anymore and said urgently.
I was stunned, and before I could react, Lao Liu had already come to me with an arrow step, and in the cold light flashing in his hand, a strange serpentine seal knife thrust into my chest with a pop!
"For ...... Why? ”
The pain in my wound was far less than the colic in my heart, and I was shocked! I hate! I don't understand why Lao Liu did this! We are brothers, brothers who live and die together! If you knew this, it would be better to let the big python bite to death!
The life and death of the ghost hand is uncertain, and it is Lao Liu who used the knife on me, I feel a sour feeling in my heart, close my eyes, and a tear slips from the corner of my eye, I don't know if the next year, where the tears fall, will there be sadness and melancholy......
After a long time, the erratic suona sound sounded in my ears again, I thought I was dead, and I opened my eyes in a daze, and saw a miserable white face!
The face was full of wrinkles, a mouthful of black teeth, and his mouth was grinning to the back of his ears, and he was smiling at me with a sad smile!!
I woke up in a cold sweat, it turned out to be a dream! My brain was groggy, it seems that I was still poisoned by the snake flower and fell into a coma here, but how could the ghost hand use the snake flower blood to detoxify us effectively?
Looking around, it was dark, and my heavy gasps echoed in the narrow space, and the scenes of the day before came to my mind like a movie......
A day ago, we opened the railing and entered the cave, which was full of dense holes, the thickness of large buckets, the small ones the size of fingers, very smooth, and the holes of various sizes were intertwined, like a huge underground labyrinth! Now I realize that this is an unimaginably large snake cave!
As soon as our group entered, before they had time to trim it, several large pythons with two people hugging each other came out of the hole, and the scene suddenly became chaotic, and we panicked to drill into the small hole, because there were too many forks in the hole, we were scattered.
The deeper I climbed the hole, the narrower it became, and at first I could bend forward, but then I had to crawl against the wall of the cave, and the feeling was like an acrobat performing a barrel, and it was even more aggrieved. I don't know how long I climbed, I felt the snake flower poison, my brain became heavier and heavier, double vision gradually appeared in front of my eyes, and my senses gradually disappeared.
I rubbed my temples, sobered up a lot, and regained a lot of strength, but my lips were chapped and smoke was coming out of my throat, and I reached out and unscrewed the kettle, and drank the last sip of water.
Looking at the front and back of the gourd, I was suddenly a little confused, I didn't know whether to go back to find Lao Liu or continue to go deeper inside, without Lao Liu and the ghost hand, I couldn't make up my mind immediately. In my hesitation, I shone a flashlight on the holes in front and back, and they were so similar that I couldn't figure out where I came from!
Suddenly, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a touch of red in one of the holes, and I hurriedly crawled in, and when I looked closely, there was a very unusual palm print of fresh blood - there were six fingers!
Carefully distinguishing and finding that it should be a left palm print, I looked at the six-finger blood palm print, thinking in my mind, if I go back to find Lao Liu and them, let alone whether I can fight with them, I can't find the way back, not to mention the very possibility of dying in the mouth of the python! It's impossible to go back the same way, so I can only go forward, fortunately, there doesn't seem to be a little snake in this snake cave, otherwise I would have gone to get Meng Po soup to drink at this time.
Now that I've made up my mind, I'll crawl through the hole with the bloody palm prints, and since someone has been here in this passage, I'm sure I'll be able to get out, and even if it's bad, I'll be able to meet that six-fingered weirdo, and even if I'm trapped here, I'll have a companion. But I didn't climb far to dispel this idea, as always, there were many forks in the road, but no matter how I searched, I didn't find the six-finger bloody palm print, and in desperation, I had to find a general direction to climb inside.
I crawled forward in the narrow hole for a long time, as if there was no end in sight, that feeling, people from the heart of despair, I seem to have numb, I don't know how long, as if hours, as if centuries have passed, the hole is finally slowly widened, I am faintly worried about the appearance of the python, but this side is surprisingly quiet, it seems to be cut off from all existence.
Finally, I climbed out of the cave and came to an unimaginably large space, and when I looked around, I saw a rope bridge in front of me, and a long dried river channel beneath the rope bridge, and on the other side of the river there were many shadowy black shadows, like many buildings.
It was a ...... City!
I was taken aback by this thought, came to the rope bridge, took out the Lu Ban ruler and clicked a few times in several key positions, turned over and pulled out a gold silk from the gap between the chains, Lu Ban Ruler danced the gold silk to a male deduction, cut off the connection of the trigger part of the machine, walked across the rope bridge, a vicissitudes of life came to the face, the front is really a city buried in the bottom for many years!
This huge space is very dark, even if the flashlight is turned to the brightest level, there is still no end in sight, it is very quiet, and I can hear my breathing and heartbeat amplified many times.
I feel like I've broken into a forbidden place for the living, a city of death!
Standing alone in such a dark, vast and dilapidated underground ancient city, my heart was furious, and I felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at me in every black hole door and window, and this feeling made me shudder and couldn't help but get goosebumps!
My heart tightened - something was wrong with this place, how to look at it, how to see, everywhere there was a ghostly atmosphere!
Dead City!
To my right, there is a stone tablet with high pines, carved with three strange characters twisted to the extreme, like seals, like three distorted human faces, as if crying and laughing.
The dense small print below should record the information of this ancient city, and when I saw this city, I felt that kind of fear from the depths of my soul for no reason, and naturally I didn't have the heart to study it.
"Lao Liu-Chen Jinrong--Sixth Son-Second Son-"
I lowered my voice and shouted at the ancient city in the darkness, and waited for a while, but there was no response. I shouted twice more at the top of my voice, more like a courage for myself, the sound was like a mud cow entering the sea, and there was still no movement in the ancient city.
Just when I was standing next to the stone monument, hesitating to enter the ancient city, a faint green light suddenly lit up in the depths of the ancient city, and a familiar figure appeared in my field of vision. 、
As soon as I thought about it, I suddenly remembered the sad laughter of a woman behind me!
Who!
My scalp exploded, I jumped forward as if I was electrocuted, and I suddenly turned my head the moment I hit the ground!
"Hehe, you stupid boy, just so unscrupulous! Hey hey ......"
It's Chen Jinrong! I glared at her angrily, didn't pay attention to her, turned around and walked towards Lao Liu. As soon as I turned around, I was stunned, it was dark in the ancient city, where was Lao Liu's figure! Could it be that I just saw the flowers?
"Lao Liu, where are they?" I asked.
"Hey...... They...... Hey...... They're over there, I'll take you to find them......" Chen Jinrong pulled me from the other direction towards the ancient city, she smiled all the way, the laughter was indescribably awkward in her ears, her hands were very cold, and I couldn't help but shiver.
I was dragged into the ancient city by her, and the ruins around me were stretched out in the light of the white flashlight, and as I walked, the mottled shadows wriggled and wriggled, and it was a huge monster. I asked Chen Jinrong all the way about their situation, but she didn't answer, just laughed, and a layer of bad premonition gradually shrouded in my heart......
